ASUS LiveUpdate is one of ASUS' preinstalled bloatware programs, that updates shit like BIOS, drivers etc... The updates are retrieved over plain HTTP and not authenticated. There is a way, via MitM and some other trickery, to make it run a malicious executable with admin/system privileges. Long story short, first thing to do when getting a new computer is axing all the preinstalled bloatware. ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

Which is why I always either get a Mac or Surface, because the only Bloatware these Computers have, are iLife and Office 365 respectively.
Either that, or I just Install Linux off the bat. It's nothing different with Android Phones and Tablets, where only Nexus Phones/Tablets don't get any Bloatware. But I don't care about Android, anyway. |
